Human Cytomegalovirus Quantitation Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for use with multiplex real-time fluorescence analyzer to detect and quantitate cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in human urine and serum.

This assay is designed to assist in diagnosing and managing CMV with signs and symptoms of CMV infection, such as CMV congenital infection, CMV hepatitis, CMV pneumonia, mononucleosis-like syndrome, and immunosuppressed symptomatic infection, transplant patients and other immunocompromised patients. The intended use of the assay is in conjunction with clinical presentation and other laboratory markers as an indicator of initiation of therapy and for use as an aid in monitoring viral response to antiviral treatment as measured by changes in CMV DNA levels. This assay is not intended for use in screening blood, plasma, blood products, tissue, or organ donors for CMV.
